The City of Modesto no longer has a curbside recycling program. For some residents this creates
a problem of what to do with recyclable materials. Many residents also have questions about where and how to
properly dispose of waste that cannot be put into the landfills or recycled, such as: e-waste, automotive fluids,
batteries, etc. Below are links and information that Modesto residents and residents of the surrounding areas
can use to properly recycle and dispose of items, reducing the amount of waste we place in our landfills.
